I am using the Regular Expression Validator control to validate a
correct email address. But, at the same time I would like to make it a
required field.
I tested by using just the regular expression validator expecting a
message to be displayed but it let me submit the form. Do I have to use
both?

Yes. All validators other than required return IsValid = true when they are
blank.

With the way the MS validators are set up, you may need both. Regex,
technically, should check for the condition and not allow an empty string. I
am not sure if you place in a condition to check for empty vals how it will
handle it, as I have not tested it.
Personally, I find the validation controls, other than the custom validator,
to be a waste of time on anything other than a very simple form.

Yup...you'd think you wouldn't....you can always create your own
RegularExpressi onValidator which simply expands the built-in
regularexpressi onvalidator...

You can add a RequiredFieldVa lidator in addition to your RegExValidator to
do the additional validation check.

In case you want a better set of validators, my "Profession al Validation And
More" ( http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx) addresses most of the
complaints users have with the ASP.NET validators. For example, my
RegexValidator has a property IgnoreBlankText . When true, it works like the
ASP.NET Regex validator. When false, it reports an error when the TextBox is
blank. There are literally hundreds of improvements like this that will make
it easy to match your validation requirements to my controls.

I have numeric fields on a web page that I only want them to enter numbers

Hello.
Say I have a .net textbox that uses a .net regularexpressionvalidator.
If the regular expression fails, is it possible to launch a small
client side javascript function to do something, such as change the
border color of the textbox to red? That would look quite nice: if
the expression fails, the red validator text is shown, plus the
textbox's border goes red.
TIA,

Hello All,
I have a page with a text box. It has a required field validator, and a
regualur expression validator tied to it. A valid email is required. When
clientside is enabled it works great. When it's disabled the server side
validation works for the required field, but the server side doesn't work
for the regEx validator. Any ideas? Is it because two validators are tied to
the same control?
Thanks,

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
